13. UNIT 31:INFORMATION SYSTEMS
Unit introduction
Information systems are combinations of software, hardware and communication networks, used to collect,
organise and distribute useful information within organisations. The availability of reliable information,
presented in an appropriate format is the basis for good decision making. It can be used by organisations for
obtaining a competitive advantage and promote efficiency.
People need to become skilled manipulators and users of information to ensure that organisations become
more efficient and succeed in achieving their aims and objectives.
As IT users, we need to make judgements about sources and accuracy of information and be able to select
and manipulate information to support sound decision making. Not all information is current or accurate. In
this unit learners will find out how to select their sources and decide on how much credence can be placed in
them.
